colourcreate73,pio26,ddcc118,stampanddoodle,phindy'sfridaychallenge61, challengeupyourlife46

this card i made tonight...it was thunder and lightning and heavy rainfall..

so nothing better than to make a card!!! unfortunately the scanner made pink stripes on it.. i dont know why...

there no pink on the card.. only blue.. grey and white....

like the challenge on colour create challenge 73.. that was blue..white... grey...

pile it on challenge 26 is... going around in circles..there are circles on my card.....

dutch dare cardchallenge 118 is to create a clean and simple card..

i think this is "the official"version of this way of cardmaking..

less is more.. so i skipped the big flowers adn other fancy fluffy stuff..

only allowed a raffia ribbon and bow..and a doily circle.. to soften up the blue and grey..

stamp a doodle challenge of this week is.. animals/nature... i throw in my hippo's!!!

phindy's friday challenge 61 is.... going around in circles...
